Not content with being in our underwear drawers and holding our boys in place, Aussiebum are launching a campaign on our eyes as well. A brand spanking new DVD is in production RIGHT NOW featuring a whole bunch of their behind the scenes segments, hot photoshoots and a bunch of hot hot boys not wearing much, if anything at all.
The DVD, as far as I know won’t be for sale, but will be distributed in a way yet to be confirmed. What I can tell you is that I’ve been lucky enough to see a preview copy. It’s about now that I should mention “The Vault”. Tucked away after “Play”, “Scene Selection” and “Image Gallery” is a hidden cave of treasures. There is a special password that you have to enter to see the delights inside and it’s not Abracadabra and nor am I allowed to share it with you. If I did, I think Sean would condemn me to a life of bad underwear from generic brand suppliers. Oh I just got a little sick at the thought. Once you get inside the Vault, I can attest it’s worth getting that finger ready for frame by frame viewing. Just a tip for new players.
If you live outside Australia and you are a fan of Aussiebum stuff, as I am, then you should get ordering right now! Why? Well basically even against the struggling US dollar, the Aussie dollar is right down the crapper and that translates into dirt cheap undies. On top of that, the kind folks over at Aussiebum are offering free shipping!
SameSame.com.au is an Aussie gay website that has stacks of information for us gay boys and they’ve just done a profile on Sean Ashby, founder of Aussiebum. You can also watch the full un-edited throw down with Janice Botox Dickinson. Head over here to read it all.
Tim Robards was probably about the first conscious ping on my radar of Aussiebum. Tim was one of the early stars of their advertising. I say that like it was a million years ago but they’ve only been around since around 2000/2001. From memory I think I’ve also heard that Tim is a Wollongong boy like me. If I’d run into boys like this around “The Gong” more often, rather than the neanderthal thugs that went to my school, I would have realised my sexuality a bit earlier. Instead I waited til I was safely nestled in the bosom of homo-friendly Sydney.
Aussiebum are about to release a new limited run of underwear called Glo! Available in four different colours these undies will have a glow in the dark waist band, handy for finding them on the floor when you are trying to make a hasty discreet exit from that bad-choice shag. They are going to be a very limited run, so get in early and order them. They won’t be making more!
This is the latest video from Aussiebum promoting a CD from the Abbey in Hollywood… I’m posting it because there are hot boys and another glimpse of Toby’s butt…
Sean Ashby, co-founder of the hugely successful aussieBum brand is up for the title of GQ’s Entrepreneur Man of the Year. Sean is a man that saw a hole in the market, stepped up to fill it and then pushed the boundaries of his niche and built an iconic brand and a nice little earner for himself and also gave all us gay boys something to wear in front of the mirror for our profile photos.
Sean isn’t a man that is going to mince his words. No successful business person, especially one as successful as quickly as Sean, is going to hold back and hope success walks through the door. He’s pissed people off and people have pissed him off. The famous incident with Janice Botox Dickinson is a case in point, but two very strong personalities are always going to have their firey moments.
Sean does great things for people, sponsors all sorts of up and coming sports stars, takes unknown models and puts them on busses, taxis and billboards all over the world, not to mention desktop wallpapers (oh Toby…). It’s no secret that I love the brand. My drawer is overflowing with their stuff. No matter what you think of him, he’s a great entrepreneur… so go vote!
Those lovely people over at aussieBum have put the video of my performance on their blog site Auslife! They are one of the sponsors of the Lifesavers with Pride float and supply us with all our swimming costumes for the parade, which I also wore for my routine. How cool!
When I was 19 years old I’d been swimming for years with a bit of rowing, gymnastics, tennis and bits and pieces of other stuff thrown in to the mix, but I still weighed only 68 kg. THIS guy is 19, is one of the Aussie Gladiators and a ruggedly sexy man who looks damned hot in his aussieBums. Genetically blessed is a term that springs to mind. I normally don’t even go for long hair on a guy but it looks so sexy on him.
I’m about to head to a friend’s place for dinner but I thought I’d quickly post this for you all… I was tempted to see if there was a way to put it on loop so that Andreas just kept taking them off and putting them on… What would we do without aussieBum?
Sorry for the delay in posting this update for you all but I have been down at my parents place for my sisters’ and my own birthday family celebrations.
Friday night went well. I had a lovely dinner and drink with a friend who I’m hoping to see more of and get to know better before heading to the club for my performance. I was absolutely crapping myself with nerves by tat stage and couldn’t drink to help calm down. Finally the time came and all in all the performance went pretty well. It’s incredible the difference in how it feels to perform and how it looks to see it on video. I thought I was holding positions for longer than I obviously did. But that will all come with performance practice I guess/hope. The manager of the club, who I know a bit, came up and was stirring me about doing something wrong. I didn’t take a bow. You can see him spin me around and make me bow to the crowd at the end of the video. It was a bit confronting coming down and standing there in my aussieBum’s being faced by a wall of spectators! The video will be up shortly.
Damn those folks over at aussieBum! They keep coming out with stuff that I don’t need, but really want. The new Parallel range is modelled by the same guy we saw in the Vintage range of undies. Would you believe he’s only 19? And he’s one of the Gladiators here in Australia. How do you look like that at 19? I personally blame the steroids in the chickens, but where do you get them?
And I love what the pouch is doing up front!
Website Samesame today posted an article suggesting that aussieBum was very close to signing a sponsorship deal to make Matthew Mitcham the face (and butt?) of their brand. I think the two are a perfect fit.
Unfortunately, after being in touch with aussieBum today, they denied a deal is done or close to being done. They are very proud of Matthew and his stunning victory in Beijing, but Matthew isn’t even back in Australia yet and hasn’t spoken to anyone about a deal. He has signed with a management agency, but no deals are done yet. But I think I speak for all of us when I say I’m seriously looking forward to the aussieBum shoots that may hopefully happen in the future with the sexy Matt.
Let’s all give praise and thanks to aussieBum for finally blessing us with a wallpaper for our computers with the delicious, tantalising, beautiful buttocks of Toby. It’s made my week. They’ve now got a few wallpapers available for download on their Auslife page. Oh Toby, get rid of the swimming costume around your neck and turn around!
